The pair both appear to have irresistible claims on a starting place at Euro 2016 but, in March friendlies against Germany and Holland, manager Roy Hodgson preferred to start one and bring the other on as a substitute.

But with Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge unavailable having just returned from the Europa League final and Manchester United pair Wayne Rooney and Marcus Rashford on FA Cup final duty this weekend, the path is clear to pair the in-form duo against Turkey at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

“Jamie has had a fantastic season and scored a lot of goals so if we are playing together it will be very exciting,” said Kane ahead of the first of three warm-up matches.

“We are different sort of players – he has got a lot of pace and can run in behind. That will probably allow me to drop off and get into space.

“If the manager puts us together we will be ready to go and try to score as many goals as we can.”

Both men are brimming with confidence given their recent achievements, but Kane says they have avoided repeating their recent bout of light-hearted social media sparring.

At the height of Spurs’ pursuit of the title Kane tweeted a picture of four lions apparently ready pounce, with Leicester their apparent prey.

The image clearly lingered with Vardy, who shared his own version of events once the Foxes were confirmed as champions – this time a still from Disney’s The Lion King, showing a leading character falling to his doom.
